In this exemplary embodiment, thelens module 12 can be a fisheye lens, providing a wide visual angle and short focal length, and can capture round and/or circular images. Thedetection device 14 can be a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. - The
image processing unit 20 receives and processes digital signals from thedetection device 14 and includes a digital signal processor (DSP) 22 and a system on chip (SOC) 24 electrically connected to theDSP 22. The DSP 22 is electrically connected to thedetection device 14 and receives the digital signals for processing such as segmenting, expanding, and correcting, providing segmented panoramic images into multi-channel, such as four-channel and nine-channel sub-image signals. - Further referring to
FIG. 2 , for example, a circular image LP is captured and provided by thelens module 12, and then is transmitted from thedetection device 14 to theDSP 22. TheDSP 22 segments the circular image LP along any radial direction, and expands the segmented image to generate a corresponding sectorial image.

display module 36 displays the multi-channel sub-images to monitor conditions of the target areas in real time. In this exemplary embodiment, thestorage module 34 can be a hard disk drive (HDD) of the DVR to store the multi-channel sub-image signals from theCPU 32. - The
image adjustment unit 40 receives the digital signals from thedetection device 14 to adjust thelens module 12 in real time, allowing surveillance or monitoring from different angles. Theimage adjustment unit 40 includes animage encoding module 42 and animage output module 44 electrically connected to theimage encoding module 42. - The
image encoding module 42 is electrically connected to thedetection device 14, and is capable of receiving panoramic images from thedetection device 14 in the form of digital signals and encoding the digital signals, and then transmitting the encoded digital signals to theimage display module 44 through a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI). Theimage output module 44 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen and is usable of displaying the panoramic images, providing touch-enabled adjustment of thelens module 12 and automatically adjust the focal length of thelens module 12 for surveillance and monitoring from different angles. - Further referring to

lens module 12 are adjusted for real-time surveillance and monitoring from different angles. - In step S2, different panoramic images (e.g., circular panoramic images) are obtained and provided by the
lens module 12 for thedetection device 14. - In step S3, the panoramic images from the

image encoding module 42 are output and displayed on theimage output module 44 to determine whether the shooting angles of thelens module 12 require adjustment or not according to the encoded digital signals. If adjustment is required, step S1 is repeated. - In step S6, the panoramic images including digital signals from the
detection device 14 are segmented by theDSP 22 into multi-channel sub-image signals, and the sub-image signals are transmitted to theSOC 24. - In step S7, the sub-images from the
DSP 22 are compressed by theSOC 24 to be transmitted to theCPU 32. - In step S8, the compressed sub-images from the
